Innovation in Compliance: Lisa Levy – Succession Planning and The Evolving Workforce: From Millennials to Gen Z

Innovation comes in many forms, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also embrace it.

In this episode, Tom Fox visits with Lisa Levy,  a thought leader renowned for her expertise in addressing succession planning challenges. We take a deep dive into this topic on this edition of Innovation in Compliance.

Lisa believes that succession planning in 2024 is more important than ever due to the complexities introduced by having five generations in the workforce, each with diverse expectations and work ethics. Lisa advocates for embedding succession planning into company culture as a strategic, intentional exercise that involves understanding employees’ skills, aspirations, and institutional knowledge to nurture and grow talent internally. She champions the use of technology, such as AI tools, to personalize growth plans and emphasizes the need for continuous evaluation, transparency, and communication to implement a successful succession planning framework, ensuring organizational resilience and smooth leadership transitions.

We discuss how the younger generations, including millennials and Gen Z, have shifted the employment paradigm by seeking roles that align with their values. Lisa reflects on their own journey of becoming ‘wholly unemployable’ over 15 years and highlights how Gen Z entered the workforce during the pandemic, taking on gigs like Uber and DoorDash as traditional roles were shut down. This generational shift shows a move towards prioritizing personal fulfillment over conventional job security.

Key Highlights:

  • Lisa Levy on her Unemployable Journey
  • Millennials and Value-Driven Careers
  • The Paradigm Shift in Employment
  • Gen Z’s Workforce Entry During the Pandemic

The Hill Country Podcast: Matt Goodwyn on Service Leadership and Community Engagement at Schreiner University

Welcome to award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with the people and organizations that make this the most unique area of Texas. This week, Tom visits with Matt Goodwyn, Dean of Students at Schreiner University.

Matt’s expertise also encompasses the realm of conflict resolution in social media, a skill honed through a doctoral program in psychology with a focus on mediation. Goodwyn’s perspective on conflict resolution in social media is that while the specific approach may vary between online and offline venues, the overarching goal remains consistent: to find a solution.

He emphasizes that despite Gen Z’s inclination towards swift conflict resolution due to the rapid pace of online interactions, the fundamental values and desires for resolution remain constant across generations. Moreover, Goodwyn insists on the necessity of education, focusing on open communication and patience throughout the resolution process as key factors for successful outcomes, regardless of the age of those involved.

Key Highlights:

  • Generational Differences in Social Media Conflict Resolution
  • Seamless Integration: Schreiner University and Kerrville Bond
  • Schreiner University’s Vision for Academic Expansion”
  • Engaging  with Schreiner University’s Vibrant Community
